First Principles | How Indian telcos are cracking the 5G challenge

Hindustan Times  

The Indian telecom business is on the cusp of significant change that’s not immediately apparent. Technically a lot can be done but there are not enough used cases.” While his observation may be true on the ground, it also appears that an altogether different business model may emerge out of India even after the recent hiccups faced by the Adani Group once poised to emerge as a significant player in the enterprise telecom space. Which is why when Reliance Jio entered the market in 2016, it disrupted the industry by offering free voice calls and ultra-cheap data plans, forcing other players to slash their prices. To put it mildly, extracting this much out of Indian consumers has taken the ‘mickey’ out of telecom operators, and analysts feel conflicted about what the future may look like in terms of finances. How this business evolves will be watched keenly because it is widely believed that this entity will deliver services on the back of Reliance Jio’s telecom reach and infrastructure.
